AML Leukemia Cell Culture Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary leukemic cells were obtained from peripheral or bone marrow blood of 34 AML patients at diagnosis, before treatment (Supplementary Data, Supplementary Table S1). The percentage of leukemic blasts was always > 90%. Normal mononuclear cells (MNCs) were obtained from BM healthy donors. Mononuclear cells were isolated by Ficoll-Hypaque centrifugation (Amersham Bioscience, Piscataway, NJ, USA). In some experiments, normal PB MNCs were processed by MiniMacs high-gradient magnetic separation column (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) to obtain highly purified CD34+ cells.
For in vitro studies, cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS (GIBCO, Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA) in presence of increasing dose of ATP (Sigma Aldrich, Germany) and ARA-C (Sigma Aldrich). In some experiments, cells were pre-treated for 30 min at 37°C with 10 μM AZ 10606120, a P2×7R specific antagonist (Tocris, Bristol, United Kingdom).
The pH of ATP solution was adjusted to 6.8 using NaOH for both in vitro and in vivo experiments.
The research was approved by the Ethics Committee of Policlinico S.Orsola-Malpighi, University Hospital of Bologna and each individual gave written informed consent (Ethical Committee approval code: 147/2013/O/Tess).

All pharmacological treatments and live cell stainings were performed in CM at 37°C and 5% CO2.

Adenosine and dopamine standards were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO) and ATP was purchased from Tocris Biosciences (Bristol, United Kingdom), and dissolved in 0.1 M HClO4 for 10 mM stock solutions and diluted daily in Tris buffer for testing. 30 % hydrogen peroxide was purchased from Macron Fine Chemicals (Center Valley, PA) and diluted daily in Tris buffer to its final concentration. The Tris buffer solution consists of 15 mM Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, 1.25 mM NaH2PO4, 2.0 mM Na2SO4, 3.25 mM KCl, 140 mM NaCl, 1.2 mM CaCl2 dehydrate, and 1.2 mM MgCl2 hexahydrate at pH 7.4 (all Fisher, Suwanee, GA). For slice experiments, calibrations and training set solutions were performed in artificial cerebral spinal fluid (aCSF): 126 mM NaCl, 2.5 mMKCl, 1.2 mM NaH2PO4, 2.4 mM CaCl2 dehydrate,1.2 mM MgCl2 hexahydrate, 25 mM NaHCO3, 11 mM glucose, and 15 mM tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane, pH 7.4 (all Fisher, Suwanne GA). POM-1 (sodium polyoxotungstate), an NTPDase 1,2 and 3 inhibitor, was purchased from Tocris. All aqueous solutions were made with deionized water (Milli-Q Biocel, Millipore, Billerica, MA).

Chick Retina Isolation and Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All experiments involving animals were approved by and carried out in accordance with the guidelines of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (permit number IBCCF-035), and all efforts were made to minimize suffering. Fertilized White Leghorn chicken eggs were obtained from a local hatchery. In this study, we used around 55 eggs (110 retinae). Embryos were staged according to [15 (link)] and sacrificed by decapitation on embryonic day 8 (E8). The eyes were removed and the retinas dissected out in a Ca2+- and Mg2+-free Hanks' (CMF) solution. We confirm that all animal use and experimental procedures were carried out in accordance with the guidelines of the Brazilian Society of Neuroscience and Behavior (SBNeC). Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM), fetal calf serum (FCS) and gentamycin were obtained from Gibco (USA). MK801 (Cat. No.0924) and DNQX were obtained from Tocris-Cookson (St. Louis, MO USA), ATP, propidium iodide, GABA, A-740003 (N-(1-{[(cyanoimino)(5-quinolinylamino) methyl] amino}-2,2-dimethylpropyl)-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acetamide, Brilliant Blue G (BBG), thapsigargin, glutathione were from sigma. BAPTA-AM, CM-H2DCFDA and Fura-2 AM were obtained from Molecular Probes. [3H] GABA was from Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Piscataway, NJ, USA. All other reagents were of analytical grade.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
